TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:

NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE. IF THIS OCCURS, WAIT 6 HOURS BEFORE TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON, 24 HOURS IS RECOMMENDED. (After the unit has been on its side, oil needs to return to the compressor to ensure proper function. Without allowing the unit this time (6-24 hours) The unit may function for only a short time, and then the compressor will break down from lack of oil).

free of curves as possible to avoid constrictions.

FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS SET-UP IN A DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW:

1) Place the bracket in the window sill,

extend the bracket fully within the window frame, fix the bracket by using the pin then lower the window onto the bracket. (Should the window bracket be too large for the window. The plastic can be cut with a saw by a qualified professional.)

2) Fit the air exhaust hose in the housing at the back of the appliance. Insert it as shown in figure A.

3) Connect the window outlet to the other end of the exhaust hose.

4) Insert the window outlet end of the

exhaust hose into the slot of the window bracket (fig. B).

• Thanks to the locking pins, it’s possible to use the window bracket also for sliding windows. Position the hole of the bracket so to allow a correct installation of the exhaust hose (see figure C)

• If you have a casement window (figure D) follow steps 2 & 3 and place the

window outlet outside the window to exhaust the hot air.
